Gree Teases X-Men: Battle Of The Atom, Based On Marvel's Upcoming Comic Book Event

Gree has just announced that it's developing a mobile game in collaboration with Marvel. The game is called X-Men: Battle of the Atom, and it's a card battle game based on the upcoming "Battle of the Atom" comic book crossover event. Announced last April and set to be launched in September, "Battle of the Atom" is a 10-part comic book series that sees the X-Men of the future traveling to the present in order to force the All-New X-Men to return to their rightful time and thereby prevent catastrophe. True to its source material, the X-Men: Battle of the Atom game revolves around a time-twisting narrative as it challenges players to collect cards featuring characters across X-Men's expansive continuity:

In X-Men: Battle of the Atom, players recruit teams of mutants and form alliances with friends to battle against classic enemies spanning multiple eras in X-Men history – including never-before-seen villains from the future. Showcasing original art by popular Marvel artists, the game will feature an ongoing storyline that will be updated with new characters and events on a regular basis. Fans can collect cards, upgrade character abilities, and take part in team battles to shape the past, present and future of the X-Men universe.
